Don't leave your home without the proper security protections.

Don’t leave your home without the proper security protections.

Home security is a feature that should not be overlooked, yet it still remains on the back burner. In many cases, homeowners feel as though their neighborhood is immune to any type of home invasion. They think there’s no possible way it could happen in their area, or to their home. Even though that could be the case, you never truly know. For this reason, it’s important to take every precaution imaginable. However, some people still opt for decoys rather than actually investing in protection for their home.

The Unsuccessful Methods

The Alarm Company Sign

We’ve all seen this one before, where the homeowner places the security sign in the front yard to make it seem like a protected house. Whether it is a secure home or not, it isn’t fooling anyone. Not only will the alarm sign mean nothing to the invaders, but it also gives them extra information on what company you may be using, unless the sign is actually a decoy.

The Lights

Constantly leaving the lights on is essentially a bat signal to all intruders that tells them you’re not home. Luckily, there are products on the market that will help you combat this generic problem.

Changing Up The Mail Delivery

This is usually a tactic for when you go away on vacation, but it won’t deter. Those who attempt to invade your home typically study the habits of the neighborhood. If you suspend delivery or consistently get a neighbor to pick it up, it will become noticeable.

The Successful Methods

Install A Smart Security System

Rather than just sticking a sign in your front yard and hoping it works, install the real thing. A smart security system can bring you a new level of comfort, as you’ll know your home is safe. With motion sensors around the house, you’ll be alerted the exact moment someone tries to breach. You can also add video surveillance, which is a known way to scare off any person who thinks of attempting to break into your house. Through a smart security system, you have the ability to control these features right from your phone.

Smart Lighting

Instead of always leaving lights on, you can install an ELAN smart home automation system that gives you full control and access. If you’re away from home, you can use your smart device to remotely turn the lights on and off. You can also set up a schedule for the light to flick on and off at various times. These two methods easily provide you with greater security than some of the older tactics, which is why they’re a worthy investment.
